To the Rusch 'kids'; I want to send my prayers and sympathy to all of you. I have so many memories, growing up, spending days with all of you and your mom and dad, and I'm remembering how much fun we all had. Your dad was an amazing man, loving, kind, so very funny - he will be missed. Give your mama a hug from me & tell her I am oh, so sorry for her loss! Hopefully it comforts all of you to think about the fact that your dad is already in the fabulous place that we all hope to go, to spend our eternity. God is hugging him, forever.

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to Dona and the Rusch family. Joe and I worked together in Packaging Purchasing at 3M for several years, and I considered him to be both a mentor and a good friend. He was a great guy!

To the Rusch family, my thoughts and prayers to your family for your loss. I also worked in Purchasing, but in a different area. He was a good man.
RIP Joe.
